Here is a decidedly more 'quilty' project. After all that sewing of clothes and swimsuits last month it was fun to work on this for a while. I picked out a Jelly Roll from the quilt shop (I have always admired those, but never actually bought one before) and stitched these up. Quick and easy piecing, a quick-turn finish with no binding, and simple stitch-in-the-ditch quilting.
I think they are pretty and will brighten up the porch all summer, but they aren't so fancy that I'll worry about ketchup or ice cream dribbles. They can just go in the regular laundry weekly with all the cloth napkins. (In the top photo, the runner has been washed but the placemats haven't.)
